Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a beater attachment, add all of the ingredients. Mix until completely even, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix one last time. Cover and refrigerate for 3+ hours or overnight.

Recipe Notes
- The recipe above is my revised recipe. I originally posted this recipe back in 2015 but thought it could be made a lot easier and with less ingredients. Just in case you wanted to see the previous recipe and/or the changes I made, I’m providing the old recipe here (which is just as delicious by the way!):
- ½ cup Homemade Cake Batter Nut Butter
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

Hi, I’m a long time admirer of your blog and wanted to let you know how beautiful it is, and how talented you are.
Absolutely every recipe looks soo drool-worthy and divine. I want your skills <3.
And energy bites are like my favourite things( although really freaking more-ish!). These.look.perf.
I'll bet everything with school will work out completely fine and you'll regret stressing heehee.
Xxx
Awww thank you so much Sarah!! Your comment just MADE my morning! And to give some context, I have an exam in 2 hours… so my day obviously wasn’t that great before hehe 😉
You’re right, I’ll probably look back on this day and think I’m being silly for stressing so close to the finish line!
I hope you get to try out the recipe Sarah 😀

I made these this past weekend–absolutely fantastic. I didn’t actually form them into balls; I just put the dough in a container in the fridge and have been using in various ways: I made a vegan cake batter “blizzard” with it using vanilla artic zero, some almond milk, and a few spoonfuls of the dough (I just blended it all together and then topped it with a few more dough pieces), and of course, eating it straight from the container has been great, too! Love your recipes!
YAYAYAYAY!!! I’m so glad you got a chance to make the recipe 😀
And Cake Batter Blizzard?! I’M DROOLING. Too bad I ate all these energy bites otherwise I would try that out right now 😉

Thank you ,I will try to do it.
I have never tried vanilla cake , These vanilla cake looks awesome!

These look delish. However, I’m allergic to Macadamia Nuts. Any suggestions for replacement?
Any other nut you like — cashews, almonds, pine nuts, etc.
Looks so yummy! I would eat all of these energy bites in one sitting. What is the difference between this recipe and the original recipe in terms of taste and texture?
I honestly feel like they taste pretty much the same, but you can definitely taste the quinoa flakes in the original recipe. If you don’t like the taste of quinoa flakes or quinoa flour, then the newer recipe is probably your best bet 🙂
